The food was nicely done. Eager service staff. It was crowded for a Sunday night dinner. It was a nice and satisfactory dinner and experience
Hail changed the concept from a fine food restaurant to a more public approach. However the meals are still prepared in the some manner and very delicious, service was extraordinary. Overall a great experience and worth to come back. We loved it.
Nice ambiance and good food. A little hard to find in the Botanical Gardens but lovely once you get there. It was a nice spot for an anniversary dinner.
Great place, ambience and service, suitable for group gatherings and corporate events. Variety of cuisine available and would love to visit again some time soon.
Nice ambience surrounded by nature ! good to have a walk before or after meal :-) not overcrowded or overloud- Food quality is great too - chili crab spaghettini was filling and delicious, the lamb was tender and soft. The "die die must have chocolate desserts" is ok and contained pop rocks that sizzled in your mouth - bring back some childhood memories. Service by the cheerful Vietnamese waitress top it up.
As already mentioned the last time (3 weeks ago) the staff , service and food is excellent. The atmosphere is wonderful and over all an experience for all senses. We will go to this amazing place on a regular basis. The chef must be a genius. Highly recommend also the dessert.. chocolate with raspberry icecream.. to die for indeed
Very friendly staff and we have had some very good dinner and dessert too. Apparently, I was the first to try out their celeriac lasagne, quite an unforgettable crisp finish to that bite. Lovely ambience too and no mosquitoes outdoor - bonus.
The food was good, the atmosphere was nice. The restaurant was good. Will definitely visit again. i i i i i i i i i
Enjoyed the garden ambience n the warmth of the staff. The menu is interesting with local notes, but my chili crab spaghetti was too sweet, perhaps it was tailored to the Singapore palate..The desserts were great, a good finish.
Excellent meal. We had great service - the staff were very courteous and efficient. The location is beautiful, particularly at night. The food was good but perhaps slightly over priced.
Great ambience, nice and entreating staff. Great ginger ~ just walking distance a bit long
Easier parking now with the new car park open nearby Great ambience and a choice or scenic outdoor dining or cooler indoor dining Food options delicious and unique Service always warm and friendly
Great ambience. Food serving portion is just right. Presentation is nice. Side dishes for the steak Is tasty and compliment the main dish well Staff is polite and has good recommendation Good place to also take a walk after dinner
Nice place with green environment, very fresh if you are seated outdoors. Good service and food. Cab drivers mostly find it hard to locate the place since it's inside the garden. Do book in advance on way out.
Amazing atmosphere and friendly service in the botanic garden. The restaurant has got an accord with the nature in the garden. I can recommend this to my mates, as well.
Good service with very friendly staff. Attentive to your needs. Nice atmosphere. This place is more towards pricey side. But still good for anniversary and birthday celebration.
Really lovely surroundings and delicious food. Will be visiting again.
Delicious lunch set amongst the tropical rain forest. Warm and friendly service coupled with beautifully fresh ingredients made for a memorable occasion for my mothers birthday. A few of us were keen to share some dishes in order to taste a few different ones. I especially appreciated that the staff were happy to recommend choices without us ever feeling that they were pushing us to order more than we needed. The waiter also kindly asked when we wanted the different courses served to ensure that we were able to eat in sync with a member of our party who was eating from the set menu. Overall we had a wonderful meal and would definitely recommend!
nice food and good service . the view so nice and really enjoy the live band , the price is reasonable and i will visit again
Awesome location and nice food, really enjoyed our lunch there.
Lovely ambiance set within the surrounds of the Botanical Gardens, with polite and attentive staff that made us feel welcome. It was a birthday occasion and they accommodated our on-the-spot request to store and serve a cake we had brought. The kids meal was also served first within 5-10 minutes of ordering, and a maze / colouring-in sheet was a nice touch. The food itself was sophisticated and tasty - particularly the rib eye and baked halibut, both perfectly cooked and extremely tender. The truffle fries were also a big hit. Though this was dinner, I would highly recommend a lunch visit for a better view of the gardens.
The place was really nice. We got an outdoor table and managed to soak in as much of what nature had to offer. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
Great ambience anon the wilderness of the botanical gardens. The menu offered unique but delicious food. Service was friendly and waiter had a detailed knowledge of the menu. I definitely will be back!
Very friendly staff and exactly the table we wanted. I also liked the knowledge and the attention. We ordered 4 entrees (knowing that the portions are quite small ) and they were all delicious, we enjoyed them a lot. The ambience is so unique, sitting outside in the nature and still very comfortable and not hot. For the main my husband had the porc tenderloin and I had the vegetarian celeriac with quinoa salad and this was amazingly yummi. We will come back soon
Service was superb!! Was surprised as I was greeted by name by the service staff. Service staff especially Ha, was always very cheerful n polite, checking on us occasionally. Food was good, ambience was good, price is quite reasonable. Overall a very good experience, will come back again!
Good service- beautiful spot. The taxi driver found it quite difficult to find best spot to drop us off. Some mains were incredible small- not filling at all. Only exception was the chicken sambal which was a decent size.
Don't miss the chilli crab as starter. Love all their fish mains too. This time tried trheir Japanese influenced cod cooked in a paper bag. Soft succulent simmered in broth
The ambient in The Halia is really beautiful. Suitable for a romantic date. The service was good. However, the food quality needs to be improved.
Excellent atmosphere, prompt and friendly service. Paper wrapped halibut was a blast, literally melt in your mouth. Centre cut beef was good. However it was alittle over cooked than medium on the outside. Prawns for the salad was fresh and very well cooked. Ginger nougat dessert was bursting with flavors in my mouth. Most importantly, the timing of food preparation and serving was spot on.
Nice ambience and nestled right smack in the world heritage spot. The crab spaghettini is worth trying. Do make a reservation at peak period to avoid disappointment
We enjoyed a lovely evening at my favourite restaurant this time celebrating my birthday. The food was delicious, the service was great and the setting was perfect. I look forward to our next visit.
Delicious food, great atmosphere, and friendly staff. Strongly recommend for business or private relaxed function. Sitting outside facing the jungle is best. Die die must have chocolate dessert is to die for. Main course halibut is great.
Great place to enjoy a dinner outside : flavourful ginger spiced dishes
Good food & and good environment. Having an unforgetable night. Like the grilled chicken which is so delicious. The attitude of the waitress also very nice. Introduce correct dishes for us. Thank You
Ambient and Food is nice, but a little bit pricey. It costs about 200 for 3 adult + 1 kid with 2 mains, 1 salad, 1 desser, 1 kid meal and 1 drinks. Kids menu is suitable for our toddler, our baby like it.
The paper oven baked fish was tasty. Service was average and air-conditioning was not cold enough. Ambience was good. Total overall experience was very good.
It was awesome. My guests were all happy with the food & the service. Just that the a-la-cart items are a bit pricey. Well done overall : )
Ambience was cooling and quiet even though we were seated outside. Food was awesome with reasonable price. Service was great, staff was very friendly and forthcoming . Enough said. :)
overall good dining experience here as always. staff are courteous and that is always very heartening. tap water is complimentary which is slowly hard to find in restaurants nowadays. one note however was that staff were too eager to clear dishes/plates away even when we were not finished without even checking with us first. some seemed too eager that made us think that they were rushing to finish for the day. furthermore there was still an hour till the outlet was closed for the day..
A lovely meal amid lush greenery. Great helpful staff as well!
